   *ALERT: A consceince encountered*

Dr Sandeep Pandey

-------------------------

I've often been blamed by friends and colleagues for not keeping secrets to
myself. It has been my practice to share information with people whenever I
feel my conscience burdened.  From my experience I can say that whenever
I've, under such circumstances, shared the truth, it may have put some
people in inconvenient positions but in the long run it proved to be right
thing to do. But, I must confess, I've never encountered something as big as
this. Till now it has been only very personal things or at the most matters
dealing with my friends or colleagues. But the information I possess now is
of societal and national significance. I'm revealing it because it can save
two lives. I'm quite aware, that in the process, I'm raising a finger at the
departments concerned with internal and external security of the country and
can possibly attract some punitive action too. But when I weighed the pros
and cons of this I was convinced that if by revealing this information lives
of two youth can be saved then I must do it. I must take the risk.

The UP Police in a planned joint operation with the army is likely to kill
two Kashmiri youth (obviously Muslim), already picked up and in their
custody somewhere in Meerut , in an `encounter' with these `dreaded
terrorists.' The drama would be enacted in the Lucknow cantonment area, the
most plausible location for an anti-national to be encountered in. Two AK-47
guns, already bought from Nepal and brought through the Bahraich route,
would be shown to have been recovered from these `terrorists.' Very high
level police officials and Colonels of the Army are involved in planning
this Jamia Nagar encounter equivalent of UP level operation. An encounter
specialist, posted at the Cantonment Police Station till recently, has been
chosen to implement the design. Recently, UP police has been presented in
poor light because of contradictory (and competitive) claims made by Delhi
and Mumbai police for having arrested terrorists which they claim were
responsible for bomb blast incidents in UP. The question raised then is who
are the people the UP police has arrested earlier who are being claimed to
be responsible for these same incidents. UP police doesn't want to remain
behind in the game of bravery now being played by police elsewhere. They are
anxious to demonstrate that they too can carry out high profile encounter
operations like the one at Jamia Nagar in Delhi . It is a different matter
that civil society groups and some media have questioned the bona fides of
the Jamia Nagar operation itself and the credibility of the government is at
stake.

The objective of the above operation is to bring laurels to UP police. The
operation would be justified in the name of national interest. UP is under
pressure because it has been projected as the breeding ground for terrorist.
The UP police wants to show that it is doing its part in countering
terrorism.

If this is true then nothing can be more shameful. Most of the newspaper
reading citizens would go along with the police version and not question it
in the national interest if such an operation takes place. However, I've
decided that my commitment to my nation is in ensuring justice to its
citizens or at least questioning what is not just. Killing of innocent
citizens in such operations or incidents like hunger deaths and farmer
suicides are all government's responsibility and no such incident can be
pardoned.

However, if what I've written above is totally based on imagination run wild
and doesn't have an iota of truth in it then I'll be most relieved person,
because I shudder to think that responsible government institutions could be
engaged in such gross things. I obviously apologize to the police and army
for having questioned their integrity. But the fact of the matter is that
police has lost so much credibility in this country that I thought it fit to
bring out the matter in open for the sake of two Kashmiri youth. We hope
that not only they will not be `encountered' but no innocent will be
subjected to such a fate, ever.
